Personally not too bad!

-pants length could be shorter.
-Sleeve can be narrower, but if you wear french cuffs, let it be.

Where have you bought this?

Thanks for the comments.
I find the sleeve opening just right when I wear french cuffs, only the elbow area is a bit too wide.
I bought them from Hong Kong Zegna MTM.

Beautiful fit! Hem the pant and jacket length is really a personal taste. The current length is good but can be shortened by 2cm if you Ike.

Thanks. Will ask them to hem pants. Jacket length felt a bit long when I wear it, but looks proportional on the picture then maybe I'll just leave it like that.

RE: to me the leg opening is a little small
I'm not sure if this can be fixed, will have to ask them.

Thank you all for your suggestions.

shorten the pants.
rest looks pretty good. there are some wrinkles in the lower back, not sure how this could be fixed.


That probably has the same cause as the slight pulling at the chest button. Therefore, letting the jacket out a bit at the waist should fix it.

The jacket is fitting too close on the hip due to the waistline being to low in back. The side view shows a sharp indent on the back part about at the top of the hips. Raise the point of the waistline on the side seams by letting the jacket out maybe 1/4" double from the top of the vents to the nothing at new waistline position.

Shorten the trouser.
